Bukhara

Interesting architecture and good food. Also nice crafts. Beware of the street children selling things. One of the suckers in my group made the mistake of buying something from them. Once a westerner opens his/her wallet, you will have kids following you all over town. We had a mob of kids following us for hours pestering us to buy things just because somebody bought a trinket. I’ve been all over the world and exposed to all sorts of cultures and their versions of the hard sell, this was by far the worst.

Amazing place and one of the only places in Central Asia to see a working Bukharan Jewish synagogue.
